Tori Amos - Gold Dust

Sights and sounds Pull me back down Another year I was here I was here Whipping past the reflecting pool Me and you skipping school And we make it up as we go along We make it up we go along You said you raced from Langley Pulling me underneath a cherry blossom canopy And do I have? Of course I have Beneath my raincoat I have your photographs And the sun on your face I'm freezing that frame And somewhere Alfie cries And says, "Enjoy his every smile You can see in the dark Through the eyes of Laura Mars" How did it go so fast You'll say as we are looking back And then we'll understand We held gold dust in our hands Sights and sounds Pull me back down Another year I was here I was here Gaslights glow in the street (flickering past) Twilight held us in her palm As we walked along And we make it up as we go along We make it up as we go along Letting names hang in the air What colour hair? Autumn knowingly stared (Auburn crimson) And the day that she came I'm freezing that frame I'm freezing that frame And somewhere Alfie smiles And says, "Enjoy her every cry You can see in the dark Through the eyes of Laura Mars" How did it go so fast You'll say as we are looking back And then we'll understand We held gold dust in our hands In our hands
